CYPRIEN GOSSET, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 551,276, dated December 10, 1895. Application led October 5, 189.4. Serial No. 524,972. (No model.)

To all zoll/mn it 11i/Ly con/cern:

Be it known that I, CYPRIEN GoUssET, of New York city, in the county and State of New Yo1l;,l1ave invented a new and Improved Ghocolate-Dipper, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in chocolate-Clippers, such as are used for i1nmersing a quantity of chocolate creams in the coating solution.; and the object of my inyention is to produce a dipper in which a comlmratively large quantity of creams may be com-"eniently placed and held securely while being dipped, and yet in a manner to leave practically their entire surface exposed.

A further object of my invention is to produce a dipper which is very simple and inexpensive, and which may be very conveniently used.

To these ends my invention consists of certain features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a plan View of the dipper enr bodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view of a portion of the clipper. Fig. et is an enlarged detail plan view of the basket portion of the dipper and Fig. is a broken sectional view, similar to Fig. 3, and illustrating a slightlymodified form of the clipper.

The Clipper is provided with a frame 10, which is of a generally rectangular shape and which may be of any approved construction, but is preferably formed out of wire, as shown in. the drawings, the wire being bent inward and downward to form legs 11 with suitable feet 12, and being also formed into the upwardly-extending balls 13 by which the frame may be raised or lowered, although any suitable means may be employed for raising and lowering it wit-hout affecting the principle of the invent-ion, which lies in the cream-receptacles of the dipper. Stretched across the frame is a web of rings 14, which are just large enough to receive creams 17, Fig. 3, and support them, the bases of the creams, which are usually conoidal in shape, resting in the rings, and the rings are supported on a suitable netting of wires 15, which cross at right angles in the usual way and are soldered to gether at their points of intersection, while the rings are also preferably braced by bands 15, which connect them. In order to support the lower smaller ends of the creams 17, a second series of rings 1G of less diameter than rings la are supported below the latter by means of wires 16 from the tra-y, as clearlyT seen in Fig.

The Clipper is filled with creams 17 by dropping them into the rings 14 and 1G, and then the dipper isy plunged into a solution of chocolate which coats the creams, and when the dipper is removed the crea-ms may be taken from the rings and are ready for the market.

In the construction seen in Fig. 5 the lower series of rings 16 are omitted and in lieu thereof a series of depending wire loops 14 are employed. As seen in Fig. 5, these loops are formed in wires, the horizontal portions of which 14" are twisted around or otherwise secured to the several rings le, and the bot-- tom portions of the loops are arranged centrally under the rings 14 so as to support the creams. It will be seen that bot-h the lower rings 16 and the loops 1in form in connection with the upper rings 1l a series of pockets or basket-like receptacles, of which said lower rings 1G or loops 1i form the bottoms.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A chocolate dipper, comprising a frame, parallel wires extending across the same, parallel series of rings secured between the wires and forming supports for the upper ends of the articles to be dipped, and supports for the lower ends of the articles to be dipped located beneath the said rings and connected with the wires between said rings at their opposite sides, substantially as set forth.

2. A chocolate clipper comprising a frame provided with parallel wires extending across it and having a series of rings Secured beries and being of less diameter than the rings tween said Wires and forming supports for of said first series, substantially as set forth. tlie upper ends of articles to be dipped and a second series of rings secured to said frame CYPRIEN GOUSSET. below the rst series of rings, the members Vitnesses:
